"Lovely stay at Ruby Bay!"

10.0

Loved staying in this beautiful home! Had all amenities that we needed. The property was lovely, clean and private. A great central location to Nelson and Motueka. The host was an absolute superstar who was very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to our next stay here.

"Relaxing stay in Ruby Bay"

8.0

Great location for my work. Ruby Bay and Mapua are a small community well away from the city hustle and bustle. Vanessa welcomed us and made sure we had everything we needed. The house was roomy with 3 bedrooms, laundry and good size kitchen and fridge/freezer. Just like walking into another person's home, full of character. Not like a sterile motel/hotel. Great fish n chips in Mapua

"Really great place to stay, lovely house, close to the beach, friendly host."

10.0

Very welcoming host, lovely house and really well stocked kitchen with lots of pots and pans, etc. The beach is only a 5 minute walk and the property was easy to find. Vanessa even put up Christmas lights and decorated a small Christmas tree for us as we were staying over Christmas - just such nice small touches that made it a lovely place to stay!

"Very Good"

7.0

Wirklich gut ausgestattet. Etwas veraltet, aber sehr wohnlich. Freundliche Gastgeberin.

Eine Katze wohnt mit auf dem Grundstück und kann durch eine Katzenklappe ein- und ausgehen. Darüber wird man vorab nicht informiert. Wir wurden erst am dritten Tag von der Gastgeberin aufgeklärt und haben daraufhin die Klappe gefunden und versperrt. Wir hatten uns schon über den Dreck gewundert, als wir von einem Ausflug zurück kamen.
